Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 171 New Ship
After staying at home for a few days, Gu Siwei's boat was built.

After receiving the news, Gu Siwei took Sicui and Tao Yisheng hanging behind him, and went to the two valleys to pick up Liu Fulin and go to the village together.

When I arrived at the village, I saw a new boat parked on the shore that hadn't been launched yet. It was slightly yellowish in color, with new oars, new anchors, and a brand new boat.

"Four-dimensional! How is it?"

Guo Xiangping was standing at the bow of the boat, waving at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei gave him a thumbs up: "I can't praise it more!"

The new ship was delivered a few days later than expected, not because Guo Xiangping and others were lazy, but because something was added to the new ship, two iron rings were added to the bow.

This thing was not installed by Gu Siwei, but by Sicui's suggestion.The little girl felt that the grass flowers and cubes were a little hard to push the boat, so she installed two iron rings on the bow, and then connected a rope with a loop at the end of the rope. The fish can pull the boat away.

Gu Siwei praised Sicui's idea, so Guo Xiangping and the others installed two more iron rings on the ship as required. Just installing the iron rings is not enough. After the iron rings are installed, the structure will be changed accordingly. Otherwise, what if the two giant fish lifted the hatch cover with the iron ring?
So a group of old men began to reinforce the boat again, and reinforced the place where the iron ring was connected to the hull. In this way, it is equivalent to the iron ring passing through the keel, and the iron ring will not be loose unless the ship falls apart.

When he got to the shore, Gu Siwei jumped on his own boat. Although he was on the shore, Gu Siwei couldn't help it, and then walked between the bow and the stern.

The boat of Gu Siwei’s family is wider and longer than that of Liu Fulin’s family. It is about one meter longer and about [-] centimeters wider. This makes the new boat look a bit fatter, and naturally it is more stable. Gu Siwei didn't think much about the labor-intensive matter, because under his assumption, most of the time for the new boat was to go from the village to Yinsongya.

"We'll have to wait a day or two for the canopy, and we'll just add it up when it's finished," Guo Xiangping said cheerfully.

Gu Siwei hummed, and replied: "No hurry, what's the hurry when the boat is ready and the awning is ready."

"You have to be in a hurry, you'll know if it rains," Liu Fulin said with a smile.

"What kind of rain are you talking about at this time?" An old man reminded Liu Fulin.

Liu Fulin quickly said: "Yes, yes, how can it rain at this time, and wait for everyone to harvest the crops on a sunny day."

Now the wheat in Zhuangzi is ripe, as long as the wheat is planted, the field is golden, and the ears of wheat that have been hit by the disaster are bigger than before, and they are all heavy, and the waists of the straw are bent one by one. Don't farmers feel happy when they see such crops?

So these days, the people in the village are always very happy, smiling everywhere they go, and even the tone of greeting when they greet people is full of joy.

"Uncle Xiangping, have you harvested your wheat? If it is confiscated, I can help," Gu Siwei said politely.

When they heard that Gu Siwei was going to help harvest the wheat, everyone burst into laughter.

Guo Xiangping waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "Let's forget it, the more you help, the more you help, and our family accepts it. Why don't you ask someone else?"

Gu Siwei followed and said happily: "If I don't practice, how can I get it fast? Didn't you cut it out?"

"Yes, yes, but I can't use it!" The old man next to him said happily.

Now every family has harvested more grain than before. If there is another crop like this in autumn, then there is no need to worry this year. Both adults and children in the family will be able to eat enough.

Although you are full, you have to add yams or something to the meal, but this meal is not just soup, but serious dry food. What else do you choose for this year?
If you are picky eaters in such a peasant family, aren't you afraid of being struck by thunder?

Everyone was in a good mood, so naturally they joked with Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei just joined in the fun and adjusted the atmosphere. He also knew that the folks would not let him help harvest the wheat, even if Gu Siwei's skills were good.

Now the faint Gu Siwei has become a very prestigious person in the village. This has happened since Gu Siwei overthrew the big bear Lu Tieshan.

"Okay, everyone don't leave at noon, follow me, let's have a good drink at noon," Gu Siwei said.

The boat was ready, and everyone didn't receive much wages. Naturally, Gu Siwei couldn't be stingy anymore. He not only entertained everyone, but also prepared some things for everyone before leaving.

Guo Xiangping listened and shook his hands: "If we don't talk about this at this time, how can we have time to drink any wine? I owe this wine first. When everyone is done with their work, they can put the new food in their own warehouses, so that their hearts can be truly at ease. Come down, it will be a pleasure to drink again at that time, who can drink it now?"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Seeing everyone agreeing, Gu Siwei said: "Okay, everyone will remember this meal, but I have prepared something for everyone, and I will send it to each family later."

"Then... that's fine, we're not welcome anymore."

A few people know that Gu Siwei's shot will definitely not be too shabby, which is one of the reasons why everyone is willing to help Gu Siwei build a ship during the busy farming season. It cannot be said that it is all because of this, but this must be a factor. No one is willing to help others to work for nothing.

I understand all this, but it's meaningless to say it, it's a sign that I don't have enough brains.

"Why are you being polite, I have to thank everyone," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After chatting like this for a while, the launching ceremony began, a whip was set off, and then Gu Siwei and Sicui pushed the boat into the water, and it was over.

The wine was not finished, because everyone was busy, and now it was time to race against the clock, so they waited for the boat to get off the water, and everyone left one after another.

Now there are only two members of Gu Siwei's family, plus Liu Fulin and Tao Yisheng.

"Let's go back?"

"There's nothing else to say, let's go back," Tao Yisheng said.

Liu Fulin turned the bow of the boat, while Gu Siwei drove his new boat to the upstream gorge.

I have to mention that this big boat looks good, but it is really laborious. It takes at least half as much effort as Liu Fulin's boat to barely keep up with others' speed.

"Four-dimensional, four-dimensional!"

After walking less than ten meters, Gu Siwei heard someone calling him behind him.

He stopped and saw that it was Guo Shengshui who came.

"Brother Shengshui, what can I do for you?"

Guo Shengshui said: "It's okay, I won't stop you if it's okay, the director Wu at the factory informed me yesterday that you will send two little wild boars there in three days, and you can't try it later than five days later. In the afternoon, because the guests will arrive in the evening. Also, if you can think of a way to get a big live fish, you can also send it. The fish must be big, at least about [-] catties. Herring is the best, and carp is also fine. Nothing else..."

"I see." Gu Siwei nodded.

Wu Daorong really asked for a lot of things this time. Apart from the little wild boar and fish, he also wanted some wild mushrooms. Gu Siwei didn't plan to pick these things by himself, so he had to ask the folks if they had them.

"Director Wu said that it is best to deliver the things quickly. If there is no other way around him, we can think of other ways. The guests this time are very important."

Gu Siwei said: "Got it."

Are guests important?Whether it is important or not has nothing to do with Gu Siwei, and it is very important whichever time Wu Daorong's guest or leader is.

Watching Guo Shengshui leave, Gu Siwei said something to Sicui, let her stay on the boat, and he went to Sun Laibao's house, and asked Ma Chunya to help her collect some dried mushrooms from the folks And so on, how much can you charge?

After dealing with this matter, Gu Siwei and Sicui went home.

With my own boat, I feel a lot more convenient. From now on, I don't have to go to Liu Fulin's place every day if I have nothing to do, to see if there is any urgent need for the boat.

When I got home, Gu Siwei also had some work to do, what kind of work, cleaning the tank!

The tanks bought back need to be brushed inside and out, not only brushed but also cleaned, and exposed to the hot sun after brushing.

According to what Tao Yisheng said, when you finally put the vat in the cave, it is best to wipe it with strong white wine.

Gu Siwei can't do this. With so many vats, it is estimated that several bottles of liquor will be wiped away. Now Gu Siwei is gradually falling in love with drinking small wine.

Happy little days, if there is no farm side dish like peanuts every day, accompanied by a little wine, how can this be considered a happy day!

Gu Siwei was humming a ditty while brushing the tank. This tank was relatively big. Gu Siwei knew how old he was. Anyway, Gu Siwei squatted in, and it was a little crowded, but squatting was no problem.

Gu Siwei cleaned the tank for almost half an hour, because he always felt that the tank had a different smell, which could not be washed off or wiped clean.

It's not just this one, the three tanks washed today all have this smell, which makes Gu Siwei feel like cursing.

scold who?Naturally, he scolded Song Rui, saying that it was a well-chosen tank, why there are defective products mixed in it.

He was cursing, but Gu Siwei was still working non-stop, and there was no way to wash it in the end. Gu Siwei finally thought of liquor, and began to wipe the tank wall with high-concentration liquor.

"If this is useless, then I really have no choice."

Wipe the tank inside and out, Gu Siwei said to the tank.

"What can't be done?"

Tao Yisheng asked after hearing Gu Siwei's words.

"What are you doing again?"

Gu Siwei had a black line on his forehead, this old guy would come here two or three times a day, watching himself clean the vat, like a supervisor.

"Let me see how your tank is doing."

Tao Yisheng doesn't care about the expression on Gu Siwei's face, he can say what he wants to say, and do what he wants to do. Now Tao Yisheng has figured out the kid in front of him.

"This broken vat has a bad smell, and it can't be washed off no matter how you wash it," Gu Siwei said.

"Can't wash it off? You didn't wash it carefully, did you?" Tao Yisheng laughed.

Coming to the side of the vat, Tao Yisheng put his nose on the edge of the vat and took a breath. When Tao Yisheng smelled the smell, his expression turned a little bit wrong.

Tao Yisheng grabbed the rim of the vat with one hand, supported the belly of the vat with the other hand, and gently pushed, exposing the bottom of the vat.

Stretching out his head to take a look, Tao Sheng looked at Gu Siwei with a strange expression on his face.
